  1. just found out that osx doesnt natively write to ntfs partitions. it is not possible for me to convert file systems to fat as about half my files are over 4gb. i did just find a few software fixes to get around the whole write issue. can anyone comment on the performance of these software fixes (write speeds with the fix vs write speeds on windows). are there any file systems that work for both operating systems? i am trying to make a final decision between a mba and mbp. just found out about parallels so wont really NEED a pc to run annoying math programs. vmware vs parallels? are there any nice (free, i still use dev c++) ide's for c++ for macs? i am assuming people do program on macs. edit: bloody fuck on a stick. 8gb ram for macs is some $400. i dont know how much of a memory hog osx is but will i run into any issues with osx and windows 7 running together with parallels or vmware? currently have 8gb in my thinkpad and nothing that i use software wise pages out.
  2. Any thoughts on the crack with the nicer caps? I'm about to put in another order for odds and ends for the dcpp. Wouldn't mind throwing in a pair of caps if the difference is noticeably between stock and upgraded caps.
  3. how the fuck is house the second most famous guy on tv...i mean really...that guy from ncis beat him out. wtf
  4. very postjackian dog. not sure what exactly that means but seems to fit. have fun!
  5. no clue how i missed those pictures mike. looks like a great time. all that time i spent in the north and never went skiing/snowboarding
  6. picked up the top plate from the dcpp. jackass charged me out the ass and screwed up the hole location for 6 holes. supposedly he had been running the machine shop for 40+ years...deeply regretting giving the guy the skirt for the crack now. on a nicer note, got accepted to phd programs at columbia and toronto. got nominated for graduate student of the year (for teaching) for the second year in a row. eating a slice of chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake now to celebrate.
  7. thats how i roll dawg.
  8. for what its worth, i never had problems with tapatalk before.
  9. tapatalk doesnt want to update. no newly started threads show up. any threads i have participated in dont get updated. any thoughts?
  10. happy bday sir.
  11. Happy bday good sir. (it must have been the 13th somewhere)
  12. I tried the app as well but I can't get music to play through headphones. Only through the iPhone speakers...so pointless.
  13. and turn it on too.
  14. I love both p&z and angry birds. Check out fragger. Similar to angry birds. Just as addictive IMO
  15. i haz a sad instead of reading carl's post about sizes, i assumed woot shirt size compliance and ordered two 2xl shirts in blue and red. as awesome as the shirts are, they are far too big for me. i doubt even a wash and a shrink will bring them down to wearable size. as such, if anyone finds their xl too small and would like to jump up a size, we can trade shirts. if no trades, then how about $20 for the pair? i love the shirts - particularly the colors (was expecting bright obnoxious blue and red but the ones i saw were excellent) but id rather someone else wear the shirts than they sit in my closet.
  16. if you know no one likes the audiogd stuff here then are you asking here? sell your shit and buy jh16. im sure the welcome wagon will soon follow. good luck. edit - damnit dan beat me to it.
  17. anyone see honeycomb? Motorola Xoom becomes official, headed to Verizon in Q1, upgradeable to 4G in Q2 -- Engadget looks pretty cool. ps. weird ass supported audio formats...
  18. t shirts waiting for me at home. im sure they look nice. thanks carl and bonnie. you guys rock
  19. been loosely following this thread. i was for the past few months using this - Amazon.com: Wenger Slim Case for Lenovo: Electronics recently sister made claim to it this break. now i am left without a laptop case. i could just get it again - it is cheap enough and functionally i havent come across something that fit my current needs perfectly for the next semester. just enough room for my laptop, battery and a few pens/odds and ends. with the new program i am about to start in the college of business, part of me feels the need to grow up and dress appropriately. a nicer laptop bag might be in order. dont know if i want it to have oodles of space but it should certainly be able to hold a laptop and a charger. i feel that i will probably not get a mba simply because i see a lot of c++, mathematica, bloomberg and other math/programming stuff ahead and i dont think i will have the time to figure it all out on the fly with macs. leaning more towards an ipad now - easier to read on the train/bus etc. both boston or pittsburg/nyc will require long commutes. ipads seem to be the weapon of choice with most current students i have spoken with. almost all have thinkpads for serious work and ipads for reading bloomberg/wsj and other news related stuff. so i guess id like to get something that can hold my 14" thinkpad and perhaps an ipad. dont really take anything else on the go with me that doesnt fit in my pockets. most of my textbooks are in pdf format so dont need to carry those. occasional paper needs to be carried but i doubt that will be any trouble. budget is ~$200. minimal weight would be most preferred. aesthetics wise, black = good or dark leather. nothing more than like 2-3 zippers.
  20. thank you gentlemen. i shall pass on the information to him.
  21. anyone know how much a used canon 500d both (probably no warranty) with everything in the box included with roughly 5000 actuations could sell for. someone in my office from china wants to sell the body and upgrade. he asked me but i have no clue. figured i would ask here. camera is in fairly good shape.
  22. Haha. I'll admit that I actually did.
  23. and somewhere in the middle live navier and stokes
  24. just blew the piss out of my 2 hour cmu interview (in a good way) -- they asked some pretty hard questions =/. hope i get in. as much as i would like to go back to mit, cmu has the oldest financial math phd program and the most recognized brand name on wall street and with investment banks.
  25. Happy bday sir
